Interim Superintendent Joseph Curtis on outlined the ways that the school community will be protected from COVID-19 to the School Committee on Wednesday. Amazingly enough, we re 17 days away from, I ll use the term anniversary although I don t think it s anything to celebrate, from that March 13, 2020, when we had a series of very intense days with [former] Superintendent [Jason] McCandless and representatives, and certainly our mayor, and we made the decision ahead of our governor to close our schools, he told the committee. At that time we were giving an estimate of roughly two weeks for closure just to assess where we were and where we needed to go, and as you know, the better part of one year now, we have remained in remote learning.
PITTSFIELD â All Pittsfield Public Schools students, except those enrolled in the virtual academy, should be back to classrooms on a part-time basis by Feb. 26.
Thatâs according to a schedule approved this week by the School Committee, which interim Superintendent Joseph Curtis expected would be shared sometime Friday with families.
âAs of [Feb. 26], all students will be participating in in-person hybrid learning,â Curtis said at Wednesdayâs School Committee meeting.
Some career, vocational and technical students, as well as some special education students, returned to classrooms this month; part time, in many cases.
Students whose families chose to enroll them in the full-year online school, the Pittsfield Public Virtual Academy, will continue learning remotely throughout the transition.
